The Black Pearl by Scott O'Dell
2.0

It started so much like Steinbeck's "The Pearl" that I thought I knew where this book was going. As it turned out, not so much. I still don't really understand the point of the Manta Diablo, or why reclaiming the pearl again in the face of the Manta's wrath made the boy a man after all.
